Name List of surface monitoring stations
Short Description Information on the surface water monitoring stations used to report water quality data under the Nitrates Directive. Data on lakes refer both to natural and artificial basins.
Definition Detailed information on the properties of the surface water monitoring stations.
Methodology for obtaining data The data requested for Nitrates Directive should be derived from existing national and/or regional monitoring networks within each Member State.
This table should be used for all surface water monitoring stations. Discrimination between the surface water entities (river, lake, etc.) can be made by indicating the "Station type". The combination of the elements CountryCode, NationalStationCode and StationType must create a unique record in the table. No duplicate records should exist with this combination.
Please consider the following when compiling your data delivery:
Provide information on the monitoring stations. Station location must represent a point location.
Filling out the tables:
All elements are required to be filled out unless “optional” or "voluntary" has been indicated or unless the element is not applicable (e.g. if a monitoring station is not used for reporting for WFD, the element EU_CD cannot be filled out.)
If “mandatory” or "required" is indicated, the element shall always be filled in. and after submitting the table in Reportnet, the QA in Reportnet will give an error message if the content of the cell will be empty.
